This real installation shows what to expect when Living Walls™ instant hedges are handled and installed on site. Site conditions vary, so refer to the Installation Guide for the installation requirements relevant to your project.

Questions about what you see in the video

Do I need the timber edge shown in the video?
No. The shallow timber edge was added by the homeowners as a mowing strip. It is not required for Living Walls™ installation.

What should I add to the trench?
Nothing extra is required. Simply backfill with the soil excavated from the trench.

Do I need to cut the hedge lengths before installation?
No. Living Walls™ are supplied in one-metre lengths and are normally installed as full lengths. In the video, the landscape contractor cuts one hedge length to create a shorter section needed for that particular space.

If a shorter section is required for your project, see the Installation Guide for how to divide a hedge length correctly.
